Bayonne man hospitalized after being hit with tire iron by Jersey City man

A Bayonne man was hospitalized after another man struck him in the head with a tire iron in Stephen R. Gregg/Hudson County Park in Bayonne early Sunday morning, police said.

Police responding to the park at 1:50 a.m. were initially told by the 23-year-old victim that he was attacked by three men. But after further questioning, the man said he was injured in a dispute with one man, police said.

The name of the other man, from Jersey City, is known to police, Bayonne Lt. Arlene Foy said. Police said the two were involved in a dispute either late Saturday or early Sunday and they agreed to meet up at the park to settle it, Foy said.

No arrests have been made and the incident is under investigation, Foy said. The victim was treated at the Jersey City Medical Center for head injuries not considered life threatening.
